Chloe, Week Two

We're finally getting settled into our new routine and I must say that it's going REALLY well. Of course, now that I put that out there the sky will fall and no one will nap ever again. I currently have two children napping AT THE SAME TIME, all the laundry done and dinner in the fridge (ok, FINE, leftovers from a casserole dropped off by a friend, potato potahto). I am so rocking this two-kid thing...until tomorrow.

Chloe is classic newborn...she sleeps most of the day and parties at night. The difference this time is that I know it ends. When Noah did this I thought my eyes were going to fall out of my head and I would never sleep again. I now know that I haven't really slept in three years so what's a few more all-nighters? My daughter (!!!) is scrumptious and beautiful and the most lovely addition to our family. We feel complete and I didn't even know we weren't until she arrived. We're really, really lucky.

June 29, 2009...Can walk with the push toy and no other support. We're getting closer!

July 1, 2009...Subsisting on a diet of bananas, whole wheat bread, and green beans. Also, he had his first bloody lip today. Nothing a wet washcloth and snuggles with Mommy couldn't make better.

July 6, 2009...I say "How old is Noah?" Noah holds up his pointer finger for "ONE!" Genius, I tell you, sheer genius.

July 18, 2009...Can bite off pieces of food. I don't know that this is an actual milestone but it makes it so much easier to feed him now that he can self-control how much he eats at a time.

12 Months

July 20, 2009...HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY!

August 2009...Not only do I have a tiny shadow, I also have a tiny mimic-er. New words attempted after hearing me say them: blue berry (bloooooooo), pool (poooooooo), grandma (uhmaaaaaa), more (mo, mo), book (buh), bath (bah), remote (mote) (and more if I could think of them).
